The full list of what I have in my bag (I linked as much as possible to make your life easier!!):

• small scarf (option 1 from Skall cotton voile 55cm*55cm, option 2 from Toteme silk 57cm*57cm, and remember this light letter about the big scarf?)

• iPhone + case

• leather cover + notebook (muji A5 or midori md paper notebooks)

• Post-It notes + black pen

• lip oil elixir with hemp seed oil, apricot oil & argan oil (this exact one)

• planner (red soft cover pocket size)

• supplements/pills box

• skin food (if it’s too thick for you, get the light version!)

• Pukka tea bags (“feel new”, it’s still called “detox” in the US, I think)

• old school earpods

• cloche leather keyholder

• lip balm (baume des muses, from l’Officine universelle buly, go to the shop when in Paris!!!)

• baby hair mascara (bye bye baby hair)

• “do not disturb” sunglasses (those exact ones)

• tiger eye crystal (a gift, for my German readers: I trust them with crystals)

• flower remedies (via genuine selection, see letter 002 for discount code)

• fountain pen Lamy Safari (might have been a limited edition, here in black, also have many Lamy Vista and they are great as mentioned here)

• stain remover pen (mine)

• pouch (Skall, but sold out in this size, the bigger size still available)

• cardholder (in gold baranil, it gets a nice patina over the years! If you’re French and carry your French ID, this one is better)

• hair tie

• extra pair of contact lenses

• coins

• bluetooth remote control (for example here)

• bag (sold out in black - search for ‘leather tote bag’, such as option 1 - bigger, option 2 - more $$$, option 3 - not bad!! option 4 - with a zip, option 5 - beige and $$$ or black, option 6 - a summer vibe, and option 7, not black and it’s my birthday in 10 days!!)

What’s in your bag? What can’t you leave your house without? What did I forget (besides the water wipes)?!!

Happy Sunday!

for reference: the bag dimensions — 34x22x14cm — it’s a perfect “half-day in the city” bag for me

1. Thank you for reading my Light Letters! While they require a lot of time from me, it gives me meaning and purpose beyond *just* being a mother to my beloved son 24/7/365. It brings me great joy to be a source of inspiration for you, dear reader, or at least a place where you can find resources to make your life brighter and stretch your horizons.

Thank you for your blessings, for pledging, buying me a matcha, commenting, or sharing this light letter!!
